[urq] urq Digest, Vol 43, Issue 31 (MC Head on WX engine question)

The link you posted a while ago was
http://www.motorgeek.com/phpBB2/v/quattro87/
but it isn't working any longer, at least for me.

I kept small resolution pictures from this page.  All the work was done on
the WX block and no work on the MC head.  Weld was added to built up the
area between 1 and 2 cylinders on the dip-stick side of the block.  The
circular hole in the WX block was then machined to match the oval shape of
the corresponding passage in the MC head.

I can sent the pictures I have to anyone interested - please contact me
off-list.
